Chapter 44: Passive Victory

The scene was at a stalemate.

Xu Xiaoshou stood rooted to the spot.

Behind him, Mu Zixi had her feet wrapped around his waist and her hands clasped over his shoulders, with only her small head topped with twin ponytails free to move.

Under the astonished eyes of the crowd, Mu Zixi deeply inhaled Xu Xiaoshou's scent.

“Ah~”

“It's this smell!”

The little girl groaned, her face a picture of intoxication.

This surging vitality, which she had yearned for from the very beginning, was utterly captivating!

All her efforts had finally paid off.

Who could resist?

“I'm going to eat!”

Damn it!

Xu Xiaoshou felt a shiver run down his spine at her words. Although he couldn't see, he could already imagine what was happening.

No, don't...

“Crunch!”

Mu Zixi bared her two gleaming fangs and viciously bit down on the major artery in his neck.

The spectators felt their legs tighten.

“Is this really okay?”

“Why isn't the referee stopping it?”

Xiao Qixiu had indeed wanted to intervene, but Xu Xiaoshou shot him a look.

What did that mean?

Doesn't he want me to save him?

Or does he?

Forget it—Mu Zixi is probably in control, and Xu Xiaoshou definitely needs to be taught a lesson!

He watched the little girl's satisfied expression and could sense her vitality surging within a short period.

“Tsk tsk...”

Xiao Qixiu found it a bit difficult to watch and decided to rescue Xu Xiaoshou.

But when he turned back, he froze.

Xu Xiaoshou...

Why did he also have that look of enjoyment?

...

Initially, Xu Xiaoshou felt a little panicked—who wouldn't be with a kidney-piercer and a vampire clinging onto them? But he quickly calmed down.

This Mu Zixi wasn't purely sucking blood; she was mostly devouring his vitality!

If he hadn't been paralyzed, Xu Xiaoshou might have burst out laughing.

He didn't have much else, but his vitality was abundant!

His Innate-level Sheng Sheng Bu Xi meant his vitality was virtually inexhaustible. As soon as he was injured, it surged wildly within him, even more intense than taking drugs.

So, Xu Xiaoshou watched as the vitality he lost one second was replenished the next.

If it weren't for the fact that it didn't overflow, he might even have a surplus...

Mu Zixi had already noticed something was off. Why did this guy's vitality feel endless?

If it were an ordinary person, they would be a dried-up corpse by now!

But asking her to stop now...

No way!

Her small face was flushed, as if she were drunk, gulping down vitality in big mouthfuls. Her expression showed she was completely addicted.

She couldn't stop!

Who knew how irresistibly attractive this surging vitality was to someone with wood attributes like her!

Some sharp-eyed individuals in the audience had also realized something was wrong. If she kept going like this, there would be trouble!

“What exactly is Mu Shimei sucking? Is it really vitality? Can one person have that much to give?”

Some grew terrified. What if Mu Zixi stopped and Xu Xiaoshou turned to ash on the spot?

“No, look closely at Xu Xiaoshou's expression—his vitality seems endless...”

“But how is that possible? Is an Innate physical body really that powerful? It's completely unbeatable!”

“Huff... I don't understand. Maybe if you cultivate an Innate physical body, you'd have the answer...”

Someone pointed to the arena: “Look, Xu Xiaoshou is moving!”

Xu Xiaoshou had indeed regained a bit of mobility.

As time passed, he could clearly feel that the girl behind him was truly intoxicated, her control over the Ma Bi Zhi Hua on his head weakening.

Xu Xiaoshou remained still and quietly worked to regain control of his body.

Soon, he could slightly move his head.

“Stay calm, think of a way—can't let her notice!”

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes darted around, and a sly smile crept onto his lips.

Feng Li Zhi Guang instantly gathered at his hair, and with a slight shake of his head, the red flower was severed.

“Whoa, how did that flower just fall off?”

Not only were the distant audience unable to see clearly, but even Xiao Qixiu floating in mid-air hadn't caught what happened.

But everyone knew—Mu Zixi was finished!

The little girl was clearly out of it, her eyes narrowed, sucking away relentlessly with her teeth deeply embedded in Xu Xiaoshou's neck.

Xu Xiaoshou had regained basic control of his body, but his shoulders and kidneys were still in her grasp, so he didn't act rashly.

Feng Li Zhi Guang flowed again, reaching those four spots, and with a shudder of his body...

Whoosh!

The four thick vines piercing his body were instantly cut.

He swiftly twisted around, grabbing Mu Zixi's neck to subdue her before she could react.

“Mmph, let go of me—I want more!”

Mu Zixi looked dazed, her mind overwhelmed by the surging vitality. She flailed her hands and feet, trying to bite Xu Xiaoshou's hand.

Xu Xiaoshou quickly stretched out his left hand to hold her chin up high.

“Mmph, so high...”

“Suck...”

“Feels amazing!” Mu Zixi murmured unconsciously.

“Request received, Passive Value +1.”

Xu Xiaoshou: “...”

What the hell kind of request is this—she's sucking my blood and still making requests!

He looked up at Xiao Qixiu, wondering how to handle this.

Xiao Qixiu was completely baffled. What on earth was happening?

Wasn't this supposed to be Mu Zixi attacking? How did the roles flip halfway through?

The attacker lost her mind, and the victim looked all innocent...

This Xu Xiaoshou was seriously toxic!

It was his first time seeing someone passively win a fight like this.

Helplessly, he waved his hand: “The battle is...”

“Wait!”

Mu Zixi suddenly snapped back to her senses, shouting delicately as she shook her head.

What was going on?

How did I end up in Xu Xiaoshou's hands? What happened?

The girl looked just like someone in a drunken stupor video—completely confused as she stared at Xu Xiaoshou.

“Let go of me!”

Xu Xiaoshou stared at her silently, pondering for a few seconds, then covered her mouth with one hand.

“Not letting go!”

“Mmph mmph!”

“Hehe!”

“Mmph mmph!”

“You don't want to talk!”

“Crunch!” Mu Zixi bit down again.

“Damn!” Xu Xiaoshou winced in pain and shoved her head up to the sky again. “Are you a dog?”

He hoisted Mu Zixi and dashed to the edge of the arena.

“What are you doing!”

Mu Zixi's big eyes were full of panic as vines suddenly shot out from her body.

Xu Xiaoshou laughed.

As if—now that you're in my hands, do you think my Innate physical body is just for show?

He tightened his right hand slightly...

“Cough cough...” Mu Zixi was instantly choked, her vines snapping apart.

“So high...”

Thud!

Without another word, Xu Xiaoshou tossed the biter off the stage and strode away himself.

He wiped the saliva from his neck, sniffed it, and his face twisted in disgust.

“So gross!”

Mu Zixi stared at him with teary eyes, nearly charging back to fight.

“Cursed, Passive Value +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1...”

Xiao Qixiu blankly waved his hand.

“The match is over—Xu Xiaoshou wins!”
